How do I contact the shelter about Ziva?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ludwigshafen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ziva on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ziva if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ludwigshafen will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Ziva already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Ziva isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Ludwigshafen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ziva and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Ziva

European Shorthair · Female

Ziva was finally able to leave the mess house with other cats and is now ready to move into a quiet and loving home. The young kitten prefers to observe her surroundings from a safe distance at first. New situations make her a bit insecure at the beginning, causing her to react a bit nervously at times. However, once she understands that nothing will happen to her, she becomes increasingly relaxed and curious. Ziva needs people with patience and understanding who can give her the time to build trust and come at her own pace. A quiet home with minimal chaos would be very helpful for her. Since she is familiar with living with other cats, Ziva will only be rehomed as a second cat or together with a compatible this breed. Pure apartment living is a prerequisite. If you give a sensitive little observer the chance, you will be able to witness how Ziva gradually warms up and gains security. If you would like to meet her, please click the "Request Cat" button and fill out the online form completely. This way, we can get all the relevant information in advance for our first conversation.

DE·Show original

Ziva durfte gemeinsam mit anderen Katzen einen Messiehaushalt verlassen und ist nun bereit, endlich in ein ruhiges und liebevolles Zuhause umzuziehen. Die junge Kätzin beobachtet ihre Umgebung zunächst lieber aus sicherer Entfernung. Neue Situationen machen sie anfangs noch etwas unsicher, wodurch sie manchmal ein wenig hektisch reagiert. Hat sie jedoch verstanden, dass ihr nichts passiert, wird sie zunehmend entspannter und neugieriger. Ziva braucht Menschen mit Geduld und Verständnis, die ihr die Zeit geben, Vertrauen aufzubauen und in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne zu viel Trubel würde ihr dabei sehr helfen. Da sie das Zusammenleben mit anderen Katzen kennt, wird Ziva ausschließlich als Zweitkatze oder gemeinsam mit einer passenden Samtpfote vermittelt. Reine Wohnungshaltung ist Voraussetzung. Wer einer sensiblen kleinen Beobachterin die Chance gibt, wird erleben dürfen, wie Ziva Schritt für Schritt auftaut und Sicherheit gewinnt. Wenn Sie sie kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus. So erhalten wir vorab alle relevanten Informationen für ein erstes Gespräch.

About Ziva

What life with Ziva looks like

Ziva is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.
